"Romance On The Beach"©David A. Ziser
I created this image a few months ago while on another trip to Florida. Here was the challenge. Although the sky looks radiant with the sunset, in reality, there just was not much going on – just little wisps of color near the horizon. I needed to expand those wisps of color to cover more of the background behind the subjects. The easy way to do this is with a longer focal length lens and then backing up quite a bit from the bride and groom. Notice now how that small part of the sky fills in the background nicely with the longer focal length lens. I back-lit the subject with my off-camera flash and got a great shot. Camera specs; Canon 40D fitted with 70-200mm IS lens at 150mm (effectively 240mm with the 1.6x magnification factor), F4.5 @ 1/320 second, ISO 200. Enjoy! David
Great image. Were you using high speed sync to get that shutter speed?
ReplyDeleteStunning image! Hope you're well David. Check out this weeks interview, very cool. Happy 2009! Take care and don't work too hard. Your friend, Crash
ReplyDeleteVery nice shot!
ReplyDeleteSuperb shot David. Like that bold color and the though process of taking "not the best conditions" and making into something good... Gav
ReplyDeleteI love the blueish-grays in the dress. That really ties the image to the water and sky.
